Pet Peeves

So, in designing for animation you have to simplify, otherwise you are gonna to drive animators into a murderous rage. But its always peeved me when an arm or other limb is removed there are only two ways of presenting this.

First is the Ham method-the arm or leg is solid pork or you can go the Hollow person theory, once a leg or arm is removed it is found to be totally hollow, filled only with blood and a full bone sticking out.

Its can be a tricky problem since most cartoons don't really want you to go too bloody or gory.

haha, yup, nothing wrong with them, just seems to be the only treatment for them in cartoons. I just want to see another option or two tried. Not all animated cartoons have to be super cartoony! If you know what i mean.
